I feel like if you've got lots of text and embedded code mixed together in a template there's probably something wrong with your architecture.

For the few cases where that makes sense, ERb is great. But I have a hard time imagining it's common enough to make it the default.

Edit: Also, the post you linked to outlines several simple ways to mix text into your HAML (inlining HTML, using markdown filters, etc)

I think ERB ends up kind of ugly for prose too; adding rdiscount as a dependency and using the markdown filter in Haml is usually how I do it.

Sounds like a good solution. I'll have to try that out.

Full Disclosure: I am not a haml developer. I'm a haml user -- I only develop on sass.

Oops, by bad.
